In a sworn declaration filed today, the State Dept stated that it intends to revoke and replace the passports of trans people who obtained gender marker changes under the current injunction if it is overturned by a higher court. They're maintaining a list.

Thank you @mintopia.net for sharing her story with me. Thank you @katymontgomerie.com for making me aware of her ordeal.

Horrible NHS experience when wanting to donate blood
Trying to donate blood was a very humiliating experience for Jessica, as the NHS decided to use male reference ranges for her as trans woman

Do you ever come up with a cissona cover story in case you ever need it for anything? Mine is Mike or Bob or Dan or something and his favorite movies are Joker and John Wick 3

Normally it's called a ride along if reporters are with cops.

Embedded is what reporters are in times of war.

We are in a war. 😞
So Fox was embedded on this insane militarized show of force which also seems to have signally failed because activists got out word in advance and there was basically no one or very few people when the mounted ICE/CBP agents showed up for the dressage event.
Yep. This operation has Fox News embedded, and they are splashing these images all over their screens.

Everyone who on some level never needed me in their life has realized this is their chance to break it off
For me there are basically three eras. 1996-2008 - we don’t exist outside of certain communities. 2008-2020 - much visibility! Token trans friend! 2020-now - you horrible fucking pervert why was I even friends with you?

The New York Times leaving out the Bay Area rationalist and startup cofounder who was most directly and intensely transphobic to Ziz? It's more likely than you think bsky.app/profile/zinn...
In a 2021-04-21 comment on her blog, Ziz says "Vassar kept loudly ostentatiously calling me 'he/him', Emma brought it up, he made it clear that if I wanted 'she/her' pronouns I’d have to earn that personhood" WOW (web.archive.org/web/20230228...)

All facts that were left out of the New York Times article on Ziz: bsky.app/profile/zinn...
Ziz claims: "Vassar has had, I think about 6, transfems gravitate to him, join his projects, go on his quests, that I’ve heard. Including Olivia, and Jessica, and I think Devi. Devi had a mental breakdown and detransitioned IIHC. Jessica had a mental breakdown and didn’t detransition."

He is an entrepreneurial pro-detransition transphobe: bsky.app/profile/zinn...
Vassar continues: "A class action lawsuit by the Zach Davis reference class could generate a great deal of wealth and of political power."

So Michael Vassar, founder of a Peter Thiel-backed startup, thought spurious detransitioner lawsuits could be used to gain wealth and political power. Fuck him!
July 7, 2025 at 11:05 AM
Michael Vassar is a transphobe by any definition: bsky.app/profile/zinn...
Ziz's 2019-11-13 post (web.archive.org/web/20230228...) quotes Alyssa Vance from MetaMed as saying Michael Vassar believes trans women "are definitely men and definitely shouldn't transition", and that he "is a self-described TERF" and "seems to try to push people he knows away from transitioning"

The Times article does a superficial and meaningless check-in with a few big names in the Bay Area rationalist movement who want to distance themselves, but completely omits any mention of the Bay Area rationalist who was apparently closest and most influential to Ziz: Michael Vassar (🧡)
So my wife and I freelanced remotely for founder Michael Vassar's MetaMed in 2013 - a regrettable experience. We started reading this (www.wired.com/story/deliri...), and then we found out that MetaMed's Scott Alexander alleges that the Zizians are "a Vassarite splinter group" (archive.ph/xv9zl)

"As a preteen [girl], Ziz grew depressed. She saw puberty as 'evil,' ... and was horrified at the idea that she would be 'killed-overwritten' by a new self. She began to feel 'like the world was a hypothetical'"

Basic literacy on dysphoria and depersonalization at puberty could have prevented this:

This is the sort of thing that should never, ever be allowed to happen again. The elite transphobes are MAGA in spirit and frankly should be hounded out of any decent institution that wants access to non-MAGA money. I wish a Democratic elected official would say this.

It has nothing to do with trans people defending or not defending themselves in sympathetic or unsympathetic ways.

The expansion of American transphobia from a minority position is almost wholly astroturfed (more like astroTERFed) by a few writers, editors, and capitalists at the Times, the Atlantic, and maybe NYMag.

There was an elite consensus against transphobia so strong Texas’ Republican Speaker of the House Joe Straus refused to pass a transphobic law, the public broadly agreed, and then a few elite liberals took it upon themselves to make transphobia popular and more or less succeeded.

This is hard evidence that Wes Streeting’s β€œnew” GIDS for children are basically just Conversion Therapy centres.

@niagriffith.bsky.social unless your bill to ban Conversion Therapy includes stopping what Streeting is doing here, it will be worse than nothing, it will help these child torturers.
These sections from the final version of my puberty blocker ban paper. They clearly show CT in the β€œnew” GIDS…
